laboratory and pathology

for health care professionals

Our laboratory understands the needs of pediatric patients differ significantly from those of the adult patient and require a specialized approach in providing laboratory testing for infants, children and in some situations, adults. To learn more about services and locations, visit our patient and family page. ( link to lab and pathology for patient and families)

We provide a wide range of laboratory tests designed to meet the special needs of infants, children and teens – from simple blood draws to the most complex genetic testing. Our facilities feature state-of-the-art technologies, including the most advanced diagnostic services available in the region for pediatric patients.

For every laboratory service we provide, our focus is on performing the safest procedure, reducing stress to the child and delivering results quickly to the health care provider who ordered the test. Procedures have been specially adapted or developed for the pediatric patient. Reference ranges are age-appropriate, reflecting the influence of growth and development.
